Photos: Volunteer to reunite dog with family

A volunteer at the Coastal Humane Society in Brunswick is driving to reunite a dog with its original family in North Carolina.

The shelter said 6 months ago, the owners of Chisum, a 9-year-old German shepherd, had to give up the dog because they were relocating from Florida to North Carolina. Chisum's owners worked with a shelter to have him adopted by a new family in Florida.

The Coastal Humane Society said the new family brought Chisum to Maine over the summer, but because of health problems with a member of Chisum's new family, they were no longer able to take care of him. Chisum was brought to CHS, where a staff member found his microchip and they were able to locate where he was from.

The shelter was able to find the name of Chisum's original owners, Kathy and Nelson Walden, and a phone number. They discovered the Waldens regretted giving up Chisum and volunteer Kriston Comee offered to drive Chisum to reunite with his family.

At noon on Friday, Comee left Maine with Chisum to meet up with the Waldens in Virginia, who will take him to their new home in North Carolina.

The shelter packed the car with some special gifts for Chisum
